Bottom Line Memory: The first time I met Dave, I remember him trying to reiterate the fact that the service was free and I thought it was a sales pitch just to get me to sign up. Little did I know the service was, in fact, free.
If I could send a care package, I’d fill it with: Starbucks gift cards and Kit Kats
Why I stay involved with Bottom Line: They supported me through college, and now it’s my turn to support them.
People would be surprised to learn that I used to: Do ballroom dancing. ( I wasn’t a pro or anything, but I wasn’t bad either.)
The BEST part of being a college graduate is: No homework! (Just kidding). Working in my field and putting all of that theory into practice.
The HARDEST part about being a college graduate is: Loan repayment
Join me in supporting Bottom Line by…. Joining me on the Rodman Ride or supporting me by going to my fundraising page to contribute!
On September 28th I will be riding 25 miles in a non-competitive ride to support Bottom Line. I ride with Bottom Line because I want those college students to have the same opportunity that I had as a Bottom Line student. I was in their shoes not too long ago, and I know what it feels like to want to walk across that stage and receive that diploma. I believe Bottom Line can help them achieve that goal, and I want to contribute to their success and be part of their journey.
